Outer Banks Farm Weddings

We are 8 acres of lovely natural land tucked in the woods surrounded by flower fields and gardens. Less than a quarter of a mile from the ocean and the sound. Truly Paradise. One would never know while standing in the pasture our treasurable waters were just a moment away east, west or south. Unless of course the roar of the ocean was wavering this way or the smell of the salty air was blown this direction. Over 10 years ago we bought an amazing slice of heaven. Tucked away in the heart of the old Kitty Hawk Village. We came here to raise our family and flower crops. We have loved every minute of it and fallen more and more in love with where we live every day.

Having run a successful Wedding and Event Design business for close to 20 years now if not more (who is counting), expanding my knowledge and talent with travel and freelancing for amazing designers all across the USA, we have cultivated a deep passion and love for creating meaningful moments. Truly capturing our clients essence and desires. You are our muse… and it all comes from the heart.

Dorothy, proprietor and lead desgigner first began designing flowers when she was little with her grandmothers. They were Entertainers! Parties and gatherings of all sorts. She was their little helper. Her father is a third generation flower farmer. He and her stepmother have bred and hybridized daffodils as her grandfather and grandmother and great grandparents. She swore she would never work on a farm. When she had her first child her dad suggested she start a fresh cut flower business. It was a great idea, especially being a new mother and wanting nothing more than to be just that. He helped her plant a field she leased land for and we began. It dawned on her, she I could use her art degree in designing florals and spaces and the rest is history.

Dorothy fell in love with making pretties. Pulling serendipitous combinations from what was graciously blooming in the garden made her heart swoon. Nature is divine. And it drives her passion for designing flowers and weddings. Keeping it natural. Keeping it true to the outer banks. Limiting all pretense. Designing for her clients. Her hearts delight. We are here to offer one of a kind Outer Banks Wedding and Elopement experiences. Not just limited to events either… we would like to nurture rewilding. Come and stay with us on our farm you will see the outerbanks in ways you have never experienced.

When covid paralyzed our world it was a blessing in disguise for us. It was the first time I actually was able to be fully present from sun up to sun down. It was heaven sent. Being alive in this space, being witness to the miracles around us in nature made every day a new adventure. From walking the pasture discovering new wildflowers, trees, enjoying the sky, the clouds the sunset, birds and bees, butterflies…. I had an entire national geographic in my back yard! All I could think was, everyone needs this. And so the concept began.
We are here to offer one of a kind Outer Banks Wedding and Elopement experiences. Not just limited to events either… we would like to nurture rewilding. Come and stay with us on our farm you will see the outer banks in ways you have never experienced.

Lighthouses

Locations: Corolla, Kill Devil Hills, Manteo, South Nags Head, Hatteras Island, Ocracoke

Lighthouses, with their captivating allure and rich history, are emblematic of the Outer Banks.
Conveniently accessible between Corolla and Ocracoke, there are six lighthouses that offer a glimpse into the region’s mystique. In fact, some of these lighthouses even permit elopements on their grounds, provided you obtain the necessary permit.

– Currituck Beach Lighthouse

Situated proudly within the historic landscape of Corolla, the Currituck Beach Lighthouse emerges as a steadfast guardian overlooking the coastline. Uniquely constructed out of brick, a style of building only employed between 1820-1849. This lighthouse is distinguished by its striking, unpainted salt-weathered red brick. It stands as a unique and timeless monument amidst the coastal lighthouses of the Outer Banks. A beacon of both beauty and history, this lighthouse becomes an unparalleled setting for couples to declare their eternal love, where the echoes of “I Do” resonate through the rich tapestry of its storied surroundings.

– Wright Brothers Monument

Nestled in the heart of Kill Devil Hills, the Wright Brothers Monument marks the testament to the remarkable technological strides achieved on our island. Not only have we a penchant for the sea but we also mastered flight in the air here. Perched atop one of the highest hills in the Outer Banks, it offers an unparalleled 360-degree view of the surrounding islands. Uttering “I DO” at this iconic monument, a symbol of aviation’s birthplace, becomes an exquisite choice for  history and aviation enthusiasts alike.

The charming Roanoake Marshes Lighthouse, a replica of the 1877 lighthouse, serves as a picturesque backdrop for photographs. For further information, you can reach out to Michele Bunce at the town of Manteo, or alternatively,
entrust these details to your wedding planner.

– Bodie Island Lighthouse

Located 8 miles south of Nags Head, offers a picturesque setting for weddings on its grounds. While ceremonies cannot take place inside the lighthouse itself, visitors have the opportunity to climb the stairs to the top during the seasonal opening, enjoying a breathtaking view of the island. A delightful boardwalk trail spanning approximately 0.25 miles leads visitors over marshy areas to a viewing deck. The lush green lawns and serene
ambiance make this location an ideal choice, with a charming nature path providing a unique backdrop for memorable photos.

-Cape Hatteras Lighthouse

Renowned as the tallest lighthouse on the East Coast and a national icon, presents another captivating option for weddings. Although ceremonies cannot be held inside the lighthouse, couples can exchange vows on the lighthouse grounds, away from the steps and path. It is worth noting that due to its popularity among tourists, it is common to encounter additional visitors during your special day. Currently undergoing restoration and
closed for 2023, the lighthouse may have scaffolding in place. To ensure a smooth experience, it is advisable to contact the National Park Service beforehand to inquire about the lighthouse’s availability and consider having an alternate location in mind.

– Ocracoke Lighthouse

Accessible accessible via ferry from Hatteras, offers a charming getaway for couples seeking a unique wedding experience. While the lighthouse itself is closed to the public, weddings can be held on its grounds. However, it is important to note that parking and space are extremely limited, making it best suited for elopements or intimate ceremonies with a small guest count ranging from 2 to 10 people. Ocracoke Island, with its quaint accommodations and captivating charm, serves as a true treasure and a favorite among many.

Please refer to the provided links for more detailed information about each lighthouse and their respective guidelines for weddings.
If you are seeking a contingency plan for unpredictable weather or simply prefer the comfort of an indoor setting, opting for an indoor wedding venue can be a wise decision. Even for a small wedding with approximately 30 attendees, there are numerous unique indoor
wedding venues available on the Outer Banks. These venues often offer elopement or micro-wedding packages, allowing for an intimate celebration alongside your beach elopement. By choosing a venue, you can alleviate concerns about rain or other adverse weather
conditions, providing peace of mind for your special day.

Additional OBX Wedding Venues

When it comes to choosing the best season for an Outer Banks elopement, it ultimately depends on your preferences and desired activities for celebration. While the Outer Banks boasts beauty throughout the year, it’s important to consider weather conditions, especially for outdoor ceremonies. Having a backup plan in case of inclement weather is advisable, and local planners can assist in alleviating this concern.

Weather to consider….

Spring and Fall tend to offer delightful weather, with average high temperatures ranging from 60 to mid-70 degrees Fahrenheit in April, October, and November. These shoulder seasons also provide the advantage of fewer crowds, allowing for a more intimate experience.
However, it’s worth noting that the ocean can be chilly in the spring, necessitating the use of wetsuits if you plan to venture into the water.

In contrast, the ocean remains warm until September in the fall. If you prefer a vibrant atmosphere and a plethora of water-related activities, summer (from Memorial Day to Labor Day weekends) is the peak beach season and the most popular time to visit the Outer Banks. However, it’s important to consider that accommodations tend to book up quickly during this period, and the area can be quite crowded. To avoid the heat and crowds, consider scheduling your beach ceremony early or late in the day, when it is cooler and less congested. The stunning sunrise and sunset views can add an extra touch of beauty to your special day.

Winter (December through March) offers a tranquil and serene ambiance in the Outer Banks. Despite the colder temperatures, which typically range from 40 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit during the day, you can still enjoy a private beach wedding and a relaxed stay due to the absence of tourists. While some local businesses may have shortened hours or closures during this season, there are still establishments that remain open
year-round.

Ultimately, the choice of season for your Outer Banks elopement depends on your preferences for weather, crowd levels, and available activities. Considering these factors will help you create a memorable and enjoyable experience for your special day.
